In an interview with People, the NBC star explained: “They’re [Haley and Hope] going to have each other forever, and that’s what really fills me to the top. Because any older parent knows one of our secret fears is that we won’t be there for milestones. The other day they were playing on their scooters, and they said, ‘Super sisters save the day!’ I thought to myself, ‘Yes, super sisters — forever, you guys have each other.’ Nothing makes me feel more peaceful.”
